Today is the third day of our "journey with Bootstrap". Today we learn how to use Glyphicons in the web pages or in applications. So let's start.

What is Glyphicons

Glyphicons are icons we use to make our web page more attractive. For example, when we open a signup page then we see a user icon before a text box, this icon is glyphicon.

Syntax: The syntax to add Glyphicons to a web page is:

<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-name"></span>

Some glyphicons are:

bootstrap

The following is an example of using it.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>
Glyphicons
</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="js/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<meta name="viewport" content="width= device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
body
{
text-align:center;
color:#006;
background-color:#CCC;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
User Name <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-user"></span><br>
Contact No <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-phone"></span><br>
Address <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-home"></span><br>
Download <a href="#">

</button>
</body>
</html>

Glyphicons for Buttons: We can also use a Glyphicon inside a button. In Bootstrap we have six types of buttons that we can use directly.
